STRENGTHENING THE LINKS BETWEEN MACARONESICAS CITIES AND THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD IN TERMS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT

Closed

The LAZOS project seeks to contribute to the development of the capital cities of the countries of Cape Verde, Mauritania, Senegal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and to promote more efficient and effective models of municipal organisation and management, through a participatory process of exchange of experience, information, training, participatory diagnosis and improvement plans. Above all, it is intended to address the problem of the growth of African cities (it is estimated that they double their population in 20 years). All this will help to improve the management capacities of cities, especially in urban and environmental areas and strengthen cooperation ties at political and technical level, as set out in the Partnership Protocol signed by the partners in July 2017. This project is the beginning of a permanent work of the partner cities, which will serve as the basis for implementing new projects and programs in common areas in the future.
